| Vulcanic lake, the dead sea: no fish,
weedless, sunk deep in the earth. A dead sea in a dead land, grey
and old. Old now. It bore the oldest, the first race. The oldest
people. Wandered far away over all the earth, captivity to
captivity, multiplying, dying, being born everywhere. It lay there
now. Now it could bear no more. Dead: an old woman's: the grey
sunken cunt of the world.
Joyce, from Ulysses |
